Explore Data Relationships

1 min read

The Data Relationships page is a catalog-wide entity-relationship diagram for any SAP OData service in your destination — not tied to a specific data source. Use it to explore what an SAP service offers before you build a data source on top of it, or to share an ERD of a service with a colleague.

Open the page #

In the left navigation, select Data Relationships.

relationships 01 empty

The empty state prompts you to pick a service. The search box at the top accepts the same query the data source catalog uses.

Pick a service #

Type at least part of a service name in the search box. Matching services appear below the search field. Select one to load its metadata.

Once metadata has been fetched, the diagram fills the page with every entity in the service and the navigation properties between them. Cardinality is shown on each link.

How it differs from Preview ERD #

  • Preview ERD (inside a data source) shows only the entities you’ve actually selected, with the same navigations restricted to those entities. It’s the diagram of a specific data source.
  • Data Relationships shows the whole service, including entities you haven’t picked. It’s a discovery tool, not a snapshot of a saved configuration.

The diagram has the same export buttons as Preview ERD — SVG for documentation, PNG for chat, PDF for review.
